Learn how to read, Tom.

I did not NECESSARILY:

consider hatred a synonym for disinfo, or misinfo.

I said:

...punished with death" And to spread disinformation and misinformation is spreading hatred

Which means that the former 'death' comment, whereever it is relevant in 'disinformation and misinformation', is spreading hatred. ONLY WHERE THE TWO APPROACHES ARE CONNECTED would the tag be issued.

It's not censor, its not banning, it's not equating ALL disinformation and misinformation with hatred. It only considers a violence tag when 'punished with death' suggestions are CONNECTED with disinformation and misinformation.

For example: A convicted rapist murderer is in the news and is to spend time in jail. He/she was found guilty through due process. A comment on Saidit is that he/she should be put to death. Eye for an eye justice &c. This opinion is fine. No tag.

EDIT: Example 2: Trump incited violence against AOC, Pelosi and Pence, among others, and there were members in the mob that were trying to kill all three, and looked for their offices in the Capitol building, nearly breaking into one of the occupied offices (video evidence). We should all march on Trump's residence in Florida and firebomb the place to ashes, killing everyone inside. Who's with me? This opinion is inciting violence against our beloved president and his family. Thus: 'inciting violence' tag.

Which means that the former 'death' comment ... is spreading hatred.

Wanting or asserting the death of an organism doesn't necessitate hatred. Assuming you've killed a mosquito before, did you need to hate that mosquito before murdering it? If you grow your own food, you also don't need to hate it before killing it.

Some people are filled with hate, others are filled with rationality and logic.

No - I loved the mosquito, which is why it had to die. Although I didn't hate the mosquito, I committed violence against it. If I want the mosquito to be dead, I want it to suffer violence, even if briefly, even if I love the mosquito. Mosquitos who are users on Saidit might think it rather unfair to them if I noted that they should be dead. These mosquitos and I have a right to free speech on Saidit. If however I continue to tell the mosquitos that they should be dead, this sets off a downward spiral for the pyramid of conversation, which Saidit doesn't like. Thus, given that Saidit doesn't like incitements to violence, because of what they do to harm the pyramid of debate, a polite tag with 'Inciting violence?' on a post might remind the person inciting violence that this is not helpful at Saidit.

Unless the mosquito has a logical argument for why they should not be dead, and in fact their continued unanticipated sucking of your blood is to your benefit.

If they have no valid rebuttal, perhaps you were right.

IDK - I wrote that at 4 am, and now - in the morning - I look at this thread and have no idea why I wrote such a goofy post. If Saidit gets more users, we'll see more rules. I'm not sure I'll remain, but it's important - I keep telling myself - to see alternative approaches.

You must be far to the east, as it's just coming up on 3 am in California in a couple minutes. I do the same, but am reducing my caffeine intake to see if I can shift back to sleeping at night.
